A strategy to reduce the time needed for software packaging includes automating the packaging process as much as possible, setting up version control, and utilizing development and automation tools. Additionally, streamlining the communication process between developers and operations teams can help reduce packaging times. Dynamic discovery can help reduce the complexity of packaging, ensuring that only relevant components are packaged. Finally, utilizing cloud infrastructure for testing and deployment can save time by automating the process and reducing manual intervention.
